Hint:

In sequencing puzzles, carefully note the relative positions given and use them to arrange the elements in order. This will help you identify the correct relationships.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the positioning from the question.
We are given the following positions:
- K is to the left of L but to the right of M.
- N is to the left of M and to the right of J.
- J is to the left of K but to the right of L.
Step 2: Arranging the positions:
The order can be visualized as: \[ \text{J}<\text{L}<\text{K}<\text{M}<\text{N} \] Step 3: Analyzing the options.
(A) J is to the left of M: Correct. From the arrangement, J is to the left of K and L, and also to the left of M.
(B) K is to the right of N: Incorrect. K is actually to the left of N in the arrangement.
(C) L is to the left of K: Incorrect. L is actually to the right of J but to the left of K, making this statement false.
(D) J is to the right of L: Incorrect. J is to the left of L.
Step 4: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) J is to the left of M.
